The Bloods of the Falling Heroes

The ones we love, are the ones you shove,
Yet you think He is happy, the one above.
Probably He is not watching the game...
That will soon bring upon you, shame!
Or will spare you with the earthly death,
But you shall live to suffer while you breathe...

The ones you admire, will be burnt like Fheroes' desires,
To morn your faces with tears so hot of fires!
That in agony, thy peace will know condolences,
How sharp its thorns wear out sighs in sequences;
For love to live the humble royal craziness,
With which you neglected their moms and dads to unwieldiness.

The world you cherish, you shall pray it perish.
Rainbow of trouble, color their courage in fetish! 
And cease its effectiveness cum due morrow,
That today will drag the past skipped sorrow;
Unto thy running feet to a one corner...
Feeding you from its karma like foreigner.

The running feet would retire to Niger Area,
Which you abandoned to mosquitoes causing malaria;
Thinking you can forever run the relay... 
Traveling to fro the globe without delay-
Getting back from outside the house;
Cleaned of no raging mouse.

Their blood pressure is your hypertension,
You can not hide all day its tension.

Their stifled heartbeats are in your thoughts,
You shall continue to see as stars like astronauts. 

Their shining stars have been mar,
You will never be clean of its scar.

Their own home you set on cry,
You will never know joy no matter the try.

Their parents you render childless,
Your wards calamity be bottomless.

Their ways you made bushy,
 You will never know ways so cushy.

Live to drink the whole of little,
To mark Abels' blood on Cain not belittle.

AMEN!

Premium Member A Glorious Era

In spite of all the terrible things 

That continue to happen all around the world

It's still the most amazing place to be

Undoubtedly there are some who would vehemently disagree

But from my humble perspective, this is how I feel

It's always been a matter of how we look at things

There's no denying that uncontrollable evil exists

In the hearts of some men who gain power by force

This is certainly by far the least praiseworthy of all human traits

But I'm sure deep down in MOST people's hearts

Lies goodness trying it's damnedest to survive

Believe it or not, I still have faith in the human condition

And that the souls of all good men and women everywhere

Will eventually win out in some glorious future time

Amen!

A Prayer For Those Who Have Found Love

I am grateful dear creator for this experience or rather the multitude of such we call life,
I accept you unconditionally, knowing that you have intimately and completely lived every moment of my existence from the beginning of time, every pleasure, every pain, every loss, and every gain. Every single wave upon my consciousness you have sailed with me, without prejudice.
	And above all I am grateful for this special gift you have bestowed upon me, this someone who is unconditionally mine, like I am yours.
This journey of ups and downs, of discovery and loss would be so dreary and daunting without a companion, a confidante..
What words could possibly describe my overwhelming emotions for “this”? a companionship like the smell of rain on dry earth, the relief of shade on scorching sands, the sense of security and belonging a child feels in its mothers arms, the joy and ecstasy of having conquered all.
	I thank you for this someone who is mine, for me, with me, someone who can accept me as I really am, someone who can comfort me, cuddle with me, confront and control me when the need arises, create with me, cure with me and thus complete me.
	I pray and thus I will it so, that amidst the celebration of the union with my dearest which shall last till the existence of our being, may our journey be blessed with your grace, may it bring out the best in us.
May it illuminate the truth behind the sadder, darker and more difficult situations and let that truth enrich greatly the experience of every good moment that comes our way, thus making us stronger, wiser and more together.
May, we become what our destiny; your destiny intends us to be.
One,
Whole,
Unified,
Fulfilled,
Complete,
Content,
And at peace.
So be it. Amen. Tahthaastu.

SIMPLE SAM

Simple Sam chewed rubber bands;
Lived in a shelter couldn't afford chewing gum;
Would catch pigeons to eat for meat;
He thought the wings were sweet;
Would pan-handle off the end of the interstate;
Would eat the leaves off the trees like grapes;

Now he'd wash his clothes, body and hair;
By running behind a car in a car wash;
And if all that didn't settle;
He would chase the dogs that chase the cats for an hour;
He had one pair of shoe left foot "All Stars" right foot "KEDS";
At Sunday morning church service was the loudest to say AMEN;

Would stick his hands and head in the window of passing autos;
Yell, spit, scream at you Hey, give me duce or a dollar;
Sticky fingers, licking trees;
Rubs mud on his  arthritic knees;
Every time you stand or walk by him;
He'll grip you, squeeze you and hug;

Simple Sam's improvised but he loves the Lord;
He titles his gleanings 10 percent;
Sited by his convictions mercies lent;
Never tired, never bored;
Wakes in the morning in winter covered in snow;
Now you may think you're the man...

Ha!!! ya ain't never met SIMPLE SAM

Premium Member A Light

Oh the exaltation...when having prayed for a grave situation for so long...one can 'see' the faint 'light' of an answer!!! Amen and Pressing-on


She had been walking   
on the same midnight road  
for so long...   
its ebone' atmosphere  
enveloping her sight...'snickering'   
at her pleas and song*
She followed a destined path   
making its now and again turns...  
her dilated pupils robotically ahead
...stared  
Peering far into the cold distance...  
seeking a sliver of gold, oh just a spark!  
The weary fibers of her very being
persistently...glared!* 
There were times of secret wails  
when even she did not understand...yet 
she pressed on...
unseen protective arms…bore
'Til, at last...albeit...
the appointed time...came!
Indeed...
the hour of 'a-l-l' her pining...arrived!
She was at first stunned…  
then realization flooded...her core…*  
 For...there...it...was!
A 'minute' essence  
of darkness' vanquish...appeared    
...a Light!*  
So small, perhaps... 
not...at all?!??  
She squinted...yes!
it was there...
a Light!*
Snailing and obtuse, but...
a glimmer...a Light!
She flung away the 'mounds' of 
accumulated despondency... 
silenced! the reverberating...
'what's the use??!!'*  
Still so far away,
but never-the-less 
...a Light!*
At last! a beckoning... 
O, Lord...a hope! 
Yes...yes...! she knows... 
she knows!!!
There's a long, long ways to go, yet  
...a Light!*   
It matters not the size of it...!  
For to her  
it is a 'brigade' of opulence bright 
t-e-a-r-i-n-g  t-h-r-o-u-g-h
the facade
of her eternal night!*  
A Light...!!! A Light...!!!  
O! Praise God... 
...A Light!!!

Premium Member Father Christ' Parables -Good Shepherd

The Good Shepherd
Christ is the True Shepherd
JN 10:1-18
"Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever does not enter a sheepfold through the gate but climbs over elsewhere is a thief and a robber. 
But whoever enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens it for him, and the sheep hear his voice, as he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 
When he has driven out all his own, he walks ahead of them, and the sheep follow him, because they recognize his voice. 
But they will not follow a stranger; they will run away from him, because they do not recognize the voice of strangers." 
So Jesus said again, "Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who came (before me) are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the gate. 
Whoever enters through me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. 
A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy; I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.
 I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 
A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them. 
This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep. 
I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. 
These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd. 
This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. 
I have power to lay it down, and power to take it up again. This command I have received from my Father." (Taken from JN 10:1-5, 7-18)

Premium Member Amen

God will not sidle alongside an idol
Or will He sidle with the idle
God will not hang with the tongue harangue
Or listen to this world's slang
God will not accept a wrong Weltanschauung
God will suffer long, His judgements He won't prolong
God became a Child for those beguiled
God became The Tamer of those gone wild
God accepts no treason, only proper reason
God is the Reason for reason
God is The Word, there's no atheist's redaction
(Remember that you can't burn an abstraction)
God will oust any verbal joust
God has defeated Faust
God gives us a right to defend
The right that bare arms extend
Love to God Who is Your Neighbor
By extending love to your earthly neighbor
God is our Bower
God to the Third Power
God The Trinitarian Tower
Amen

A Prayer To Christ Jesus: May Salvation Reign Down


Dear Lord, I am but a broken vessel.
In pieces, I cry out your holy name.
My sin latches on with grappling hooks,
and drags me backward with each step I take.
Oh please, dear Lord, forgive me. Hear my plea.
Hold me close whilst the storm rages within.
I have squandered all your bountiful grace.
I pray whole heartedly for your mercy.
Oh please, dear Lord, baptise thee and save me.
Your prodigal daughter has returned home.
Father, this war has plagued me for so long.
Oh saviour, free me now from Satan's grasp.
May my heart ever yearn for you, dear King.
Restore this broken vessel, make me whole.
Amen
